Hoover blown fuse, Series ZF12.0, Model U5194-900?

How can I find & replace the fuse? I was routinely vacuuming & it simply cut off. I thought I must have blown a house fuse but that turned out to not be true. The on/off switch has no effect, no matter where I plug the vacuum in, including A/C outlets I test. This model is called the "Mach 5 Multi-Chamber Cyclonic" vacuum. It is about 6 months old. Any pointers on where the fuse is located within the vacuum would be greatly appreciated.

It was the thermal protector feature, not a blown fuse. This feature shuts the vacuum down for 30 minutes PROVIDED that you unplug it from the wall. If you do not unplug it for 30 minutes, it will not reset.
